It was love at first swipe, but our relationship is still a little rocky.

Ive tried all the popular to do apps, but none were versatile yet simple enough for me. Swipes definitely fulfills these requirements, allowing me to maximize my productivity while maintaining my sanity. The app is incredibly intuitive and elegantly designed, and I love the integrations with Evernote and Gmail.

However, there are some conspicuously lacking features—most notably the lack of custom repeat. Its difficult to set far-off dates for tasks, and you cant hide certain tags when filtering your workspace. Thus I still need to rely on another app for certain tasks, so Swipes has yet to become my "one and only."

Unfortunately, Ive encountered some rather significant technical problems as well. Syncing issues basically render the OS X app useless. Changes made in the Notification Center arent reflected in the badge icon unless the app is open. If I try to organize my tasks before the time set as "start of day," tasks I set to "tomorrow" will be set to todays start of day instead. Sadly, support never got back to me when I tried to get in touch.

Nonetheless, Swipes is by far the best to do list app that Ive tried, and I highly recommend it. Aside from the things mentioned above, I also hope they can add 3D Touch for the app icon, namely for adding new tasks and searching. Also, it would be great if tasks added via web browser would have the URL in the notes.
